Let’s face it: no matter how much we try to resist, looking at celebrity weight loss photos is addictive! So whether you’re on a mission to lose a few kilos or just need a little motivation to get healthy, we’ve collected some of our favourite celebrity weight loss transformations for you to flick through at your leisure. Ready, set, go…

Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson, is that you?! Our favourite comedic actress shared this slim snap of herself frocklicking in Disneyland with her rumoured new boyfriend, Hugh Sheridan, recently – and her fans couldn't resist complimenting her on her weight loss. In fact, it looks as if she might struggle to continue to play the character of 'Fat Amy' in the Pitch Perfect movie franchise!

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore

Drew turned to Kimberly Snyder, New York Times best-selling author and nutritionist, for weight loss inspiration. She followed a strict diet that included lots of protein, but admitted to US Weekly that it wasn't easy: "All I did was cry and dream about pizza. I still am dreaming and crying about pizza.” Same here, Drew!

Geri Horner

Geri Horner

From ginger spice to slim spice, Geri Horner (formerly Geri Halliwell) has never been in better shape. The celebrity gave birth to her son not long ago, but attributes her now-trim figure to yoga and breastfeeding, telling BBC Radio 2 that the latter "helps shrink you back". Body transformation aside, we couldn't help but notice the singer's also had a hair makeover. Those tousled tresses are a far cry from her early 00s perm!

Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham showed off a new, slim figure at the launch of her personal trainer's new studio. But the actress said that her quest to get in shape had nothing to do with weight loss, insisting it was more about feeling strong. If you ask us, Lena ooks beautiful at any size – but that happy smile speaks volumes!

Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian

Since splitting up with Lamar, Khloe has lost almost six kilos and has never looked better. She works out at least four times a week with celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson and says she now pays more attention to what she eats. The reality star favours boxing, stair running and the elliptical to work up a sweat.

Jordin Sparks

After losing over 22 kilos, Jordan told Redbook: “The key was finding exercises I enjoyed. If you don't, you won't stick with it.” The singer said she discovered a Zumba-like class called Sensazao: “I burn 900 calories an hour doing what I love - dance.”

Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding

Ellie has always been slim, but over the last few years, she’s gotten incredibly fit and toned thanks to her love of exercise. The singer told Elle UK, “I’m way more confident when I’ve worked out. I don’t really care if my weight fluctuates as long as I’m fit.” As for her favourite exercise, it has to be running: “It’s tough and there are some instances where I physically don’t have a second but I love running around different cities. I travel a lot but the only time I get to see stuff is when I go running and it’s a massive endorphin release!”

Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt

Chris lost over 25 kilos for his role in Guardians of the Galaxy. He told People, "I actually lost weight by eating more food, but eating the right food.” The actor is confident that he’ll maintain his weight loss by spending just one hour in the gym, four days a week - a routine achievable for most people.

Charlotte Crosby

Charlotte Crosby

Binge drinking and a poor diet caught up with Geordie Shore star, Charlotte, and it wasn’t until she overcame her fear of working out in front of other people that she started to see changes in her body. She admits, “I did not want to go to gym, I felt intimidated as I didn't know what I was doing and I felt like people were staring at me.” Well, she smashed through that fear to drop an impressive four dress sizes. Her advice? “Don’t go on fad diets; it’s all about the exercise. Try to fit exercise into your lifestyle at least four times a week.”

Britney Spears

Britney Spears

Britney’s weight has fluctuated a lot over the years, but the pop star seems to be happier than she’s ever been since starting her stint in Las Vegas. Like most of us, Brit doesn’t enjoy working out for hours: “I like my workouts to be effective in a short amount of time. I start with 20 minutes of intense cardio — usually running — and move on to light free weights, bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, squats, and situps, then finish it off with a stretch.”

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne

The daughter of Ozzy Osbourne struggled with her weight as a teenager, and although she still has ‘bad days’, the now 30-year-old appears to be happy with her body. Talking to Self, the lilac-haired TV host said, “I've worked hard to get into shape, and I'm going to continue, not because being skinny is important to me, but because I want to feel good."

Sam Smith

The slimmed down singer recently revealed he’s just four pounds (under 2 kilos) away from his goal weight. The 22-year-old credits the book Eat Nourish Glow, (and its author, Amelia Freer) for his transformation, taking to Instagram to show his gratitude with the caption: '”Three weeks ago I met a woman who has completely changed my life. Amelia Freer has helped me lose over a stone in 2 weeks and has completely transformed my relationship with food.”

Best thing I ever did was lose 30kg after putting on weight through a 10 year period getting married and having kids. I just started eating healthy again and working out regularly and I am now fitter and trimmer than ever as an adult. I love looking at my own before and after photos!

This just makes me angry. You are promoting unrealistic body images. Being as thin as a skeleton is NOT HEALTHY. These women looked just fine before. They didn't need to lose weight. Stupid articles like these encourage the idea that only skinny women can be attractive and you have to starve yourself to be accepted. This sort of thing is how eating disorders start. Try promoting women who are satisified with their bodies as they are. And no I'm not overweight I'm 5.6 kg

I don't diet as such just try and eat a healthy and sensible diet. I also have a break once a week when I allow myself to eat whatever I fancy. This seems to work for me as I am unable to do exercise apart from walking all due to back and leg problems .I have kept the same weight now for a few years and my doctor is pleased with me. I did lose a lot of weight a couple of years ago when we found that my Thyroid was playing up. That is something I would advice anyone to have checked if you either gain or lose weight for no reason that you can tell.

My tip? Eat natural diet designed for human animal. simple....as in nature there is no obese animal (those that live free, not those imprisoned by humans and fed fake foods not designed for their metabolism.

Everyone looks so nice and healthy!! Love that no one has gotten too thin!! Just fit and healthy looking! I think it gets harder as you hit your 30's and more!! Throw out the scales!!!!!!!Eat as healthy as you can during the week! then treat yourself on the weekends!! Do something active as many days a week as you can! Then enjoy life! Being happy and healthy is the most important thing

Wow Vickys before is amazing. She definitely needed help with that skin I bet..

Definitely agree it all about diet.. Plant based whole foods diet is the only way.. No other species drinks another species milk and the strongest most resilient animals are herbivores?? Misteries solved
